One of our favorite new bands, Hiatus Kaiyote, is steady picking up steam and we couldn’t be happier. Thanks to their gaining popularity and cosigns ranging from Questlove to Gilles Peterson and Mark de Clive-Lowe, some admiring colleagues pitched in their skills for a remix compilation to Tawk Tomahawk. The new project, Tawk Takeout, takes the already dissonant and welcomingly busy sound to a whole new level of textures and clashes that compel you further into the depths of the Hiatus’ uncanny sonic brilliance.

Tawk Takeout includes remixes by Anthony Valadez, Shafiq Husayn, and Mark de Clive-Lowe as well as a vocal appearance by Miles Bonny. Stream and download for free below.

This album is a such a gem. Anthony Valadez has got a new video for another Just Visiting track called “Asleep” featuring the mystical Anna Wise of Sonnymoon on lullaby duty. We’ve totally spaced out to this track about seven times already and forgot to finish this post. Loving the dim evening mood to this video – it’s so dreamy.

Most recently, he teamed up with LA vocalist Def Sound to release the short but sweet stop motion video for “Precious.” The nautical vibe tune shouts out Herbal Essence (remember how that was the jam back in the day?) and weird chicks. We’re into it.

Known by many as a DJ and show host for Los Angeles’ highly respected KCRW, Anthony Valadez is preparing to now show us a slightly different side. June 5th will see the release of Anthony’s debut full length album as a producer, Just Visiting. Expect to find appearances from Miles Bonny, The Park, Rebekah Raff, Anna Wise (Sonnymoon), Def Sound, Damon Aaron and others.

Above, find a video digging a little into Anthony’s inspiration and recording process. Below, find the first single from the album, “Under Water,” featuring a super sexy vocal appearance from Dutch singer Mar. Also included is a house/dance remix by the incredible Full Crate.
